The only problem is, at least with me that I fail to track my daydreams and forget to feel happy when they get fulfilled. Funny but true. It isn't that I desperately await a daydream to become reality but it is a fact that I do enjoy imagining a moment and the happiness it brings me but fail to `live' it when it actually happens.
Well, my daydreams aren't about achievements or money. They are largely about inane stuff - soaking the sun lying aimlessly on a lush green lawn (mainly because of being brought up in the greener part of south Calcutta), giving a piece of my mind to someone at work (which I rarely end up doing) and standing in the midst of a forest with a gurgling waterfall close by (thanks to my visit to Chakrata near Dehra Dun recently & Jim Corbett long time back - which had a similar scene and which promptly found a place in my daydreams ever since I read the short story in school).
Strangely, I realized yesterday, that one of these inane moments I had daydreamt about actually came true but I wasn't clapping my hands in glee. In fact, I was at peace as the moment appeared mundane, almost like something that I took for granted, until I realized (much later in the day) that it was one of my many `daydreamt moments'.
Perhaps for a compulsive daydreamer like me it would be a tad difficult to keep track of all my imagined moments. But, given the amount of time I have spent since childhood staring blankly at my teachers, ceiling fans, text books and bosses during meetings, lost in my world of dreams I cannot let the whole `exercise' go waste.
I should at least stick a list of my daydreams on my desk and tick the fulfilled ones. Or check the list every morning for a fresh recall so that when the daydream gets fulfilled I at least remember to smile.
I just dreamt one……….waiting for it to someday come true!!!
